In this Portuguese monologue, the speaker challenges the popular “4 am/5 am club” mindset that equates ultra‑early rising with higher productivity. He explains that the body’s peak growth‑hormone (GH) release occurs roughly between 11 pm and 3 am, making a sleep window that starts around 10 pm optimal. He recommends going to bed around 10 pm and sleeping 7–8 hours, which would naturally lead to waking between 5 am and 6 am. Early rising should only be adopted if it truly fits the individual’s preferences and lifestyle, not because it is portrayed as a universal productivity hack. The speaker also notes that he once woke up that early out of work necessity, not personal choice.
